Cleveland and Collins.

As was hinted at at the time, the New
York Worlds alleged interview with Con-
gresham Patrick A. Collins, of Boston,
was malicious fabrication. 1t will be re-
membered that the World correspondent
said that Collins had spurned the offer of
secretary of war rendered by Cleveland
through Hon. W. II. Barnum. The alleged
interview also abounded in slurs upon the
president and his policy. How absolutely
false it all was is told elsewhere in these
columns.
Fair and honorable criticism eau never
be objected to by right-thinking men,
But when the trade Of the liar is taken ur
to defame the country's chief executive, i,
becomes pertinent to inquire what are the
limits Of newspaper propriety. Tn,

land and Collins, and it will suffer for il

THE mayor Of Boston and q number OF
aldermen and councilmen OF that city were
prominent participants in demonstration in
honor Of John l.. Sullivan In the Boston
theatre on Monday night These rulers Of
the "Athens Of America" took part In the
presentation to that splendid animal, John
l.. Sullivan, of . diamond belt, bearing tho
legend, "Champion of Champions" and
thus on the best authority the meaning of the
word champion is illustrated and explained
A champion, says Webster, ais one who
engages in any contest, especially one who
contends in behalf of another in single com.
hat" Now, A. Sullivan engages in single
combat in behalf OF no one but himself and
further, q he does not engage "in any com.
bat" but only in sparring, the world at large
might doubt his championship Of champions;
but Boston says so, and she ought to know.

About Politicians,

Mr.. Hamilton -BtDtOn, Of Philadelphia,
1kys, am no politician, make saws"
Solomon also made saws, yet he was very
great politician in . very honorable sense
soe tho word, and his work as saw maker
has never been equalled for durability.
II 10 not necessary to set any teeth
after using one OF his saws. Napoleon
made wars, victories, laws, empires aud
funerals, yet he was q politician, and
there are several other politicians in
history who have made things /; in fact it
b the common belief that real politician
must not only make things, but must make
things hum. 1t is very rarely indeed that
. man is found able to make several kinds
Of things hum, and Mr.. DisstOn's circular
saw ought to be enough for any average
mortal.
Mr.. Disston further says that he believes
. politician to be a man who makes
money out of politics." Not at all Most
genuine politicians make money in politics.
He has fallen into the common American
error of measuring all things by a money
standard, for there are many who will
work and scheme for places Of honor OF
authority far more eagerly, and with
fewer scruples, as to method, than they
would work in their business capacities for
money. This may be because, like
Diaston, they have the money and covet
TIE power, or because they have neither
and prefer the latter perhaps as q means
Of winning the former. A politician may
mako money out Of politics, or other
politicians may make money out of him
but as rule the money is made out of the
people by and for whom politics exist.
